One of the best places we have stayed. Amenities were great...free candies, popcorn, cakes. Great fresh cooked breakfast, very good dinner. Free whiskey education on Scotland whiskey by Dean. Quiet location yet close to shopping other dining options.

Paul and Dean are so welcoming and friendly. They gave great tips for exploring and have such a wonderful hotel. They even surprised us with a chocolate fruit tray to congratulate us, as we were on our honeymoon. We will definitely be visiting again.

What was only supposed to to be a stopover on our way to Edinburgh became a highlight of the trip, all thanks to Paul and Dean’s excellent service, food (both dinner and breakfast was excellent!) and attention to details! Only regret is not staying for a couple of more nights. Will make an effort to come back 😊

Dean and Paul are wonderful hosts and made our stay at the Birchwood extremely comfortable. They also helped us navigate our upcoming trip through inclement weather. The hotel itself is lovely and very thoughtfully constructed. Will definitely stay here next time in Pitlochry.

From the warm welcome on arrival to the departure we had an excellent all round experience at Birchwood Pitlochry. We were in room 3 which had two lovely seating areas & appreciated having this extra space in our room to relax. The lounge area downstairs was also a very nice place to sit & we could choose to eat an evening meal here or in the dining room. The breakfast highlights included granola, yogurt & compote pots & Paul's fantastic hot breakfasts - best french toast ever!!! Evening meals here were also excellent & I would highly recommend eating in. Very comfortable, relaxed surroundings with a minor negative being the low shower pressure BUT accepted as a 'quirk' of an older property and would not stop me from coming back as overall a fantastic stay - thank you both Dean & Paul. Ps. could not miss mentioning Paul's superb popcorn and tiffin on the guests treat table!!!

It is difficult to describe in few words how wonderful this little hotel is! The generous and kind owners have obviously put their heart and soul into the hotel providing the best service possible to their guests. Paul and Dean went above and beyond giving us the best experience of their hotel and Pitlochry. Their attention to detail is incredible, from amenities in the room, gorgeous toiletries and a special 'pantry' as well as providing superb gluten free and vegetarian alternatives at breakfast I have no hesitation in saying this was the best hotel I have ever stayed in!

Dean and Paul were exceptional hosts, and within minutes after our arrival it felt like we were visiting with old friends. It truly was one of the warmest and friendliest environments I have ever experienced at a boutique hotel. Paul’s skills as a chef were amazing, as well! The breakfasts were superb and the lone dinner eaten at the hotel was also memorably delicious. Clean rooms, super staff and a great location for exploring central Scotland, the Birchwood Pitlochry checks all these boxes multiple times! I will stay here again!!!

I can hardly describe what a wonderful experience this hotel was. An exceptionally beautiful old Victorian house, with a lovely, comfortable and easily accessible garden. There is also a small private woodland, with little hidden corners and places to sit. You would have to search long and hard to find staff as helpful, welcoming and accommodating as these. The room was clean, comfortable and quiet, with complimentary coffee and a wide selection of snacks. The food was fantastic and clearly prepared with great care and love. This is a place that is run from the heart, with an unmistakable ability to understand and accommodate your wishes. Without a doubt, the best and most relaxing hotel of our entire trip. My warmest recommendations.

The Birchwood is among the very best B&Bs we have stayed at. Very well preserved mid-19th century building, beautifully decorated, attentive owners, fabulous food, well-stocked bar. A perfect stop on our jaunt around Scotland. Highly recommend!

My husband and I recently spent three wonderful nights at Birchwood in Pitlochry, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. The hotel itself is a charming old property full of character, run by two incredibly friendly hosts. One seemed to take care of most of the guest-facing side of things, while the other worked his magic in the kitchen. We only had breakfast at the hotel, but it was absolutely superb. Rather than offering an overwhelming buffet, they focused on a small selection of high-quality items, and everything was delicious. As board game enthusiasts, we were especially delighted to discover that one of the lounges had been turned into a cosy library complete with a proper gaming table. It's such a rare thing to find in a hotel, and we spent some very happy hours there. Another lovely touch was the complimentary snacks and sweets available around the hotel. There always seemed to be little treats waiting to be discovered, including some homemade caramel popcorn that was dangerously addictive! What really stood out was the attention to detail and the genuine care shown by the hosts. Birchwood felt welcoming, relaxed, and thoughtfully curated in a way that made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and would wholeheartedly recommend Birchwood to anyone visiting Pitlochry.

Top notch customer service both in hospitality and restaurant, I don't know what they are rated but it felt like we were staying in a 5 star hotel and restaurant for sure! They really want to make sure everything is comfortable for you. I would definitely recommend staying here. Pitlochry town is really adorable too and it's within easy walking distance from the hotel.

What a wonderful place to stay. Paul and Dean make you feel like you are visiting their home and do everything they can to spoil you. Besides the fact that the location is beautiful, they also deliver quality in what they serve at breakfast and, if desired, dinner. Pitlochry itself is too touristy for us, but Birchwood is a reason to come back!

Visited Birchwood Pitlochry for a cycle sportive. The hosts were very friendly, 5am breakfast made available for participants in the sportive. Birchwood Pitlochry is a fantastic place to stay, close to the town centre and a walking distance to the town centre.

From the time you open the front door and step in you are treated in a special way…that is a very positive way. Both Dean and Paul are very attentive and make you feel special. The room was great and the supper and breakfast were 1st rate. Pitlochry is a nice town but Birchwood Pitlochry makes it better! Bravo Dean & Paul!

We had such a lovely stay at Birchwood Pitlochry and felt welcome from the very first moment. The hosts Dean and Paul were incredibly attentive, fun to chat with, and really went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The house is beautiful, super clean, and full of cozy touches and lovely decorations. You can really see the attention to detail, both inside and in the beautiful garden surroundings. Our room was warm, comfy, and perfect for relaxing. We also really enjoyed the lovely bar/lounge area. The food was also amazing — great breakfasts and suppers, delicious drinks, and snacks always available. We were very well looked after the entire stay. If you’re looking for a cozy Scottish stay in a lovely town, we’d absolutely recommend this place and would happily come back again. Thanks again Dean and Paul!
